Anton Talarico has taught English at both the high school and college levels for sixteen years and has been newly selected and endorsed by AP College Board to run APSI’s and Public APSI’s around the country as an AP Consultant for Literature and Composition. He has had ten years of experience teaching AP English Literature and Composition. Currently, Anton teaches at Granada Hills Charter, located in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, and as an adjunct at Moorpark College, located in Ventura County. Over the last several years, Anton has worked to create a rigorous, yet accessible AP Literature curriculum that serves to prepare students not only for the AP Exam, but also for challenges of their college courses beyond the exam. Over the last several years, he has had major success with student achievement with the AP Literature and Composition Exam, his students even achieving an 80% pass rate during the online 2020 – 2021 Covid-school year, while the national average was approximately 40%. This level of success for Anton and his students has been fostered by a strong passion to teach English and a commitment to a process of close reading and encouraging student voices as they share their perspectives and ideas.
Anton resides in Moorpark, CA with his wife and two beautiful children, where he enjoys running in his free time, training for a variety of distance runs, including a couple marathons a year.
